"Fuyu, when did you come?"
Li Cuiping was blocked at the door by the siblings and could not enter the house. It was Wang Tianhua, who was half a head taller than her, who first saw Song Fuyu standing inside the house and smiling at them.
"Fu Yu?"
"Hey, why are you here!"
When Li Cuiping saw Song Fuyu, she quickly pushed aside the brother and sister who were complaining and walked towards her happily.
"Don't we have to take care of the hospital?"
"There are doctors and nurses there. Apart from preparing three meals a day, I can't do anything else."
"Your uncle Wang and I wanted to go visit him, but Ping An said the factory manager told everyone not to go."
"At present, I have basically been lying in bed to rest. There are other patients in the ward. If too many people go to visit me, it will affect everyone's rest. I will be fine after ten days or so when I can go home."
"You can go home in ten days, right?"
"The doctor is right."
"It's a blessing in disguise that it's just a broken bone. If something else had happened, I would have regretted it."
"yes."
"I'm so far away, if anything goes wrong, I can't get here right away."
When she received the call from Brother Ping'an saying that her father fell down the stairs, her heart seemed to stop for a moment, and then she broke out in a cold sweat.
I didn't want to hear anything, and I couldn't listen to anything. I just wanted to take the nearest flight back.
"If you ask me, given the factory director's situation, he really needs to find a companion. He's still young, not even fifty, and it would be too lonely for him to live alone all the time."
"It all depends on him."
"If he finds one, I'm happy for him. If he doesn't, that's fine, I'll take care of him when he gets old."
"I also suggested to him that he retire and come with me to Lu City, but he didn't agree."
"The factory director is a workaholic. If you ask him to retire now, it will cost him his life!"
"Look at me. I was so busy talking to you that I didn't even bring you a glass of water."
"Don't bother, Gang Xiuyuan brought it to me."
"This girl, I only brought you water, and didn't even bring you any food. I'll go get it for you."
"Really, no need. I just came here after dinner and I'm still full."
"You've just finished dinner?"
"I thought you'd come to our house after all this trouble. I'll cook a few dishes for you later so you can taste my cooking skills. We've lived together in the tube building for so many years, but I've never cooked for you once."
"Next time. I will stay here for about a month and a half this time."
"Your own work won't be a problem, will it?"
"No, there is someone in charge there at the moment."
"That's fine."
Although Song Fuyu said she didn't want to eat, Li Cuiping still went to the room and brought her a plate of snacks.
"You don't have to send us things every now and then. Your uncle Wang and I both have jobs. If you want to eat something, we will buy it ourselves. You can keep it for yourself."
Looking at the bags of things on the table, I knew without thinking that they were what Fu Yu had just brought over.
"You always send us things. If you do this too often, your in-laws will inevitably be unhappy if they find out."
"Hey, Aunt Li, don't worry, it's not what you think."
"Sending things to you is my own business. My parents-in-law don't care at all."
"Their family split up a long time ago, and they each take care of their own things. They don't live together, so they don't care so much."
"I told my mother-in-law before that you and Uncle Wang have taken good care of me. She even asked me if I wanted her to send you some things from Beijing. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't let her do it."
"Oh, don't send it then."
"I feel unworthy of the things you give us. If your mother-in-law sends us anything again, your uncle Wang and I will be unable to sleep all night."
“I didn’t send you anything.”
"The meat was brought back by my wife from the mountains, and the dried goods were also from the mountains. Apart from the shipping fee, everything else is a product of nature."
"Oh, by the way, this time I brought you some dried persimmons and dried persimmon cakes. Dried persimmons spoil easily, so it's best to eat them within a week. Dried persimmon cakes can be kept for a longer time if they are stored in a dry and ventilated place."
“These are all grown in our own yard and they taste great.”
"Thank you for always thinking of us."
"Although Heng City is my hometown, besides my father, only you and Uncle Wang miss me."
Aunt Li and she had been communicating on a letter-by-letter basis, telling her some of the things happening in Heng City in the letters. She also learned much about the original owner's grandparents and stepmother Liu Qiaoyu through her.
"You have to be careful with your grandparents at all times. I think it won't take long for them to know that you're back."
"You didn't know how ugly the scene was before. They sat on the ground and rolled around, insisting that the factory director hand you over. The factory director avoided them for several days, and Ping An had to deliver all the work to his home."
"This kind of people are shameless and unreasonable, and they love to confuse right and wrong. If they come looking for you, just tell me and I will bring people over to testify for you!"
"Also, don't compromise. You must be firm. If you compromise, they will keep haunting you forever. They are just two old, bad vampires, and your uncle's family are not good people either."
"Okay, I will. I won't let them succeed easily."
She has been back for so long this time, it is only a matter of time before the original owner's grandparents come looking for her, but she is not afraid at all.
If she finds it, she will know how to do it.
Of course, it’s better not to come!
I chatted with Aunt Li about when they were having dinner. When they were getting ready to eat, Song Fuyu got up and left to go back to the hospital.
"Eh~"
"What about the fruit?"
When I returned to the ward, I suddenly realized that there were some fruits on the cabinet before I left, but now only the thermos cup and kettle were left.
"I asked your Uncle Zhou to take it and share it with other medical staff."
"I see. I thought you were robbed."
"How is it possible? Who would dare to rob a hospital in broad daylight?"
"I'll get some other things for Uncle Zhou tomorrow."
"Before I came back, I made a lot of dried persimmons. They were all grown in my yard. I couldn't finish them all."
"Your Uncle Zhou loves to eat meat."
"Ever since he found out that you often send me things, he often uses the excuse that I can't cook and is afraid that the food will go to waste, and then comes to my house to prepare a meal for me, and eats and drinks for himself, and then takes some away after eating. I guess most of the things you send me every month end up in his stomach."
She had heard from her father before, and she didn't mind it. If someone could come over from time to time to cook a home-cooked meal for her father, she would be happy even if the other person took something away.
They have been good brothers for so many years and have long been accustomed to the similar mode of getting along where you get something from my house and I go to your house for a good meal.
These days, even if Uncle Zhou is not on duty, he will take time to come and check on the recovery of the fracture.
If you don't truly consider the other person as a good brother, there is no need to do everything yourself.
